A Transaction in Hearts. By EDGAR SALTUS.
Saltus' latest novel, and in some respects his best. In the character of Christopher Gonfallon the author aims a terrible blow at the hypocrisy of those who, setting themselves up as examples and leaders of men, fall before the temptations of the beast in their own natures. The recreant minister, the evil enigma, Claire, and the pure, sweet wife, make a trinity of characters rarely found in modern fiction.
The Philosophy of Disenchantment. By EDGAR SALTUS.
A philosophical work which ent.i.tles the author to a first place in the ranks of modern thinkers. Even those who disagree with his conclusions cannot deny him a vigorous and pointed logic, keen insight, and powerful reasoning.
The Anatomy of Negation. By EDGAR SALTUS.
A work of superlative excellence and worth.
Divided Lives. By EDGAR FAWCETT.
"A spirited story; the interest is well sustained throughout, and the characters are firmly and clearly drawn."--_N. Y.
Tribune._
"The book is written in very choice English, and the style is flowing and harmonious."--_N. Y. Truth._
"A thoroughgoing society novel, whose style moves like a waltz."--_Richmond States._
Miriam Ballestier. By EDGAR FAWCETT.
"A pathetic and absorbing story of thrilling interest."--_Syracuse Herald._
"The last chapter, in particular, is one of the most beautiful things in American literature; the picture of Miriam going out into the night on her mission of sublime self-sacrifice deserves to live forever in the memory."--_Chicago Herald._
Monte Rosa, the Epic of an Alp. By STARR HOYT NICHOLS.
"It is an account in poetic form of an Alpine mountain, beginning with its birth, describing its form, appearance, grandeur, its relations to man physically and metaphysically, and ending with the probable ending of the mountain. It is one of the most successful of recent attempts to wed science and poetry."--_Albany Journal._
Memories of the Men who Saved the Union. By DONN PIATT.
"Piatt's sketches of the great coterie of men mentioned are of absorbing interest, and no one who takes up the book will lay it down without obtaining new ideas of the character and motives of those so high in place during the rebellion"--_Quincy Whig._
"They are the interesting recollections of one who was personally acquainted with the ill.u.s.trious men of whom he has written, and who had, as well officially as socially, opportunities of studying the character of each, of which he has availed himself in writing one of the ablest books we have had the pleasure to welcome from America."--_Westminster Review._
The Lone Grave of the Shenandoah. By DONN PIATT.
"Eminently original, they are delightful to read. So extraordinary a compound of poetry and practicality as our author, if sought through the world, could not probably be found."--_Washington Post._
"They are sketches, quaint, delicate, humorous, fanciful, examples of the art of short story-writing in its perfection."--_Chicago News._
The Protective Tariff: What it Does for Us. By HERMAN LIEB.
"It is clear in style and argument, taking strong ground for the immediate reduction of war taxes and the putting of the nation on a peace footing as regards the necessities of life for the common people."--_Michigan Courier._
Life of Emperor William I., the Founder of the German Empire. By HERMAN LIEB.
"General Lieb has done historical literature a great service in giving it a life of one of the greatest rulers of the nineteenth century. It is printed on good paper, in clear type, and profusely ill.u.s.trated. An edition is also issued in the German language for those who want the history of their fatherland in their own tongue."--_New London Telegram._
Henry Ward Beecher, Christian Philosopher, Pulpit Orator, Patriot, and Philanthropist. Ill.u.s.trated with a biographical sketch by THOS. W.
HANDFORD.
"As a pulpit orator he was during life the peer of any living, and his utterances will go on converting men, and fitting them for earth and heaven. As a patriot, loving his country, and willing to make any sacrifice for its sustenance and upbuilding, he was at all times conspicuous."--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._
"It is much for a man worthy of a biography that he should fall into the hands of a congenial spirit, and that the biography should be a labor of love."--_Chicago Herald._
Dinnerology. By "Pan."
Experiments in economical cooking, brightly and interestingly related.
Her Strange Fate. By CELIA LOGAN.
"'Her Strange Fate' belongs to that healthy sensational school, at the head of which stand the works of Chas. Reade, wherein the romantic and dramatic sides of real life are depicted.
There is no morbid a.n.a.lysis, no feverish imagination. No one who begins the book will be willing to lay it down until the last page is reached."--_Philadelphia Press._
A Blue-Gra.s.s Thoroughbred. By "TOM JOHNSON."
A richly colored picture of a comparatively unknown but wonderfully interesting section of the United States, the Blue-gra.s.s region of Kentucky. From end to end the book is a rapidly moving panorama of brilliant pictures.
A Slave of Circ.u.mstance. By E. DE LANCEY PIERSON.
"An interesting work."--_N. Y. Herald._
"A book well written; continually alluring, especially in the love scenes."--_Washington National Republican._
"The very first paragraph of the book arouses the reader's interest, and that interest is maintained to the end."--_Sunday News._
"It is extremely interesting, vividly national, and develops an unusually original idea."--_Baltimore American._
The Shadow of the Bars. By E. DE LANCEY PIERSON.
